Review on 🎧 AKG K240 STUDIO Professional Studio Headphones: Semi-Open Over-Ear Design, Removable Cable, Varimotion Technology for Enhanced Bass Response. Includes Alphasonik Earbuds. by Rusty Lyons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good sound, but painful and uncomfortable to wear (medium-sized head)

I've been trying to replace my old Sennheiser Px-100 as wearable and sports headphones for a long time. So this is another attempt to find a successor. The AKG sound is very good, the bass is quite powerful and controlled, maybe too much bass for my taste, more bass than treble (I'm no expert at all), but too much bass doesn't make the headphones sound very detailed or balanced; now the negative part; i would keep them but unfortunately they are uncomfortable to wear (i have a medium sized head), i tried loosening the headband, i put on the velor pads which were replaced shortly after receipt but the pressure on the top of the head and the Ears make them painful and unbearable. I've already bought the Noontec Zoro, they're lighter, more comfortable, with less bass, but much more balanced and detailed, so the overall sound is definitely better than the AKG in the same price range - so I think I've finally found the headphones I was looking for.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • There are flaws
